Asian Literature

My reading list:
No Man's Land, a postwar love story by dissident Duong Thu Huong, Vietnam
The Boat, short stories by Nam Lee, Vietnam
Burmese Days by George Orwell, inspired by his days as a British officer in Myanmar
Red Sorgham by Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, China
Buying a Fishing Rod for My Grandfather, stories by Nobel Prize winner Gao Xingjian, China
Kafka on the Shore, a surrealistic novel by Haruki Murakami, Japan

Has anyone read any fiction from / about Cambodia or Laos?

  1. I haven't read anything from/about Cambodia or Laos; but do have a question. With all this traveling, when do you have time to read? :)

  2. Haha! On the plane, or at night - there's not much nightlife!
    I've been too exhausted to read a lot on this trip.
